Chapter 120: Overload and Coolant (Please Subscribe!)

Even when used merely as a thermal-to-spirit energy converter, the energy radiated by the Tokyo Godzilla was far too terrifying for Bai Tangjing to handle at this moment. The sheer volume of spirit energy flowing through his body, coupled with the portion automatically absorbed by the Godzilla blood within him, caused his pupils to emit a dazzling purple radiance.

In his purple-tinted field of vision, the countless electromagnetic and light waves crisscrossing the sky became visible. The sky, which had been swept clean by the shockwaves of the two behemoths’ battle, now appeared incredibly crowded and noisy. This, without a doubt, exceeded the visible light spectrum accessible to any human.

At his fingertips, the purple radiation emanating from his bones gave his skin and flesh a nearly translucent texture. When he gently rested a hand on the skin of the Orthodox Godzilla, a sizzling sound echoed as he left five scorched, charred fingerprints behind. It took a great deal of effort for him to calm his fingers down.

However, this massive influx of spirit energy was not entirely beneficial. As if his eye sockets could no longer withstand the intensity of the vibrant purple light, faint, crack-like patterns glowing with a purple hue began to emerge at the corners of his eyes. Moreover, Bai Tangjing’s Nen reserves had inevitably been depleted to an extremely low level during the conversion process. At the very least, his Nen technique "Hatsu"—specifically "Spirit Absorption"—was temporarily unusable. Even his basic physical form had become hot and rigid, as if suffering from a high fever, due to the rapid, excessive growth spurred by the Godzilla blood.

"Pat, pat."

Half-crouched on the shoulder of the Orthodox Godzilla, Bai Tangjing patted its neck with slight weakness. The reptile’s car-sized pupil shifted downward at the appropriate moment.

"Buddy, I’ve helped you this much; we’re good now, right?" Bai Tangjing tilted his head and laughed.

"Hmph—"

The sturdy, massive beast snorted and flipped itself up from the ground. It withdrew its gaze from the tiny figure atop it and stared fixedly at its crazed kin across the way. Though it could not understand the monotone roar of the little one, it didn't matter. There was only one goal now.

—Fight!

"ROAR!"

The thick, sturdy figure issued its declaration of war. The earth-shaking roar created a shockwave that carved another half-meter of depth into the ground. After being bombarded by the intangible, massive surges of spirit energy, this robust Orthodox Godzilla seemed to have been completely revitalized.

The Tokyo Godzilla, finally having sustained significant damage once again, let out a long-overdue, thunderous roar.

"SKREEEONK!"

The two god-like, titanic creatures collided once more! Impact shockwave after shockwave was turning the battlefield into a massive, bowl-shaped crater. Whether human or machine, everything on this battlefield dominated by the behemoths was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

Before they resumed their fight, Bai Tangjing had slipped from the shoulder of the Orthodox Godzilla to the ground. Without the ability to use "Nen: Spirit Absorption," his contribution to the battle between these Godzillas was akin to merely scratching their hides. It was better to use this opportunity to find another path to victory.

For instance... those cooling agents.

These cooling agents were specifically designed for the molecular structure of the thermonuclear reaction within the Tokyo Godzilla. As long as the Tokyo Godzilla had not significantly altered its core energy system, the cooling agents would remain effective. Although it had evolved twice during the battle, those were merely "minor adjustments" to its functional capabilities. Its energy system, being the foundation of its life, was something it could not afford to disrupt for even a split second during combat, lest it be killed by its opponent. Therefore, it must have maintained its original thermonuclear reaction, which remained susceptible to the cooling agents.

Bai Tangjing was currently searching through the debris-strewn ground, which had been churned up by the shockwaves. Suddenly, his purple-glowing eyes widened as they swept across a pile of ruins.

"Found you!"

The sturdy youth leaped over to the pile. The mangled wreckage was composed of several trucks that had been blown away like leaves by the shockwaves, only to collide and tangle in mid-air. A large pool of gasoline leaked from a fuel tank, and electrical sparks flickered across the ruins from time to time. It was a scene that would make any firefighter break into a cold sweat.

Yet, Bai Tangjing felt no tension standing before this "powder keg." He climbed the ruins with a look of pleasant surprise, and after a brief scan, his eyes—evolving toward those of a Godzilla—provided the answer.

"Electrical signature... it’s here."

"Clang!"

Between the crisscrossing, sharp steel beams, his hand, formed into a blade, pierced through the layers of obstacles and grabbed hold of a sparking wire. The current, which would have been lethal to an ordinary human, crackled against his palm, tangled amidst the sharp, broken metal remains. However, the youth acted as if he were unaware of it.

He tore a large chunk of rubber from a tough truck tire, wrapped it around the wire in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "It can't hurt me, but it wouldn't be good if the cooling agent reacted to the heat."

Having dealt with the electrical sparks, Bai Tangjing effortlessly tore apart the overlapping steel frames and chassis, tossing the heavy scrap aside. The screech of twisting metal was enough to make one's teeth ache. Hundreds of tons of steel debris were being cleared away with visible speed. To Bai Tangjing, these actions were as easy as dismantling a toy house!

Finally, three storage tanks still connected to water pipes emerged from the ruins. The characters for "Modu Pharmaceutical Factory" were still vaguely visible. The sturdy youth patted the tanks one by one; two dull sounds and one crisp one confirmed that two of the tanks were still usable.

"Clatter—"

The cylindrical tanks, with a base radius of two meters and filled with cooling agent, weighed no less than fifty tons each. After shutting off the valves and disconnecting the pipes, Bai Tangjing grabbed the handles, which he had reinforced with "Nen: Gyo," and pulled them straight out of the ruins as if they were mere building blocks.

Now, he had to transport these two precious treasures to the battlefield.

On the field of the giants, the Tokyo Godzilla, having lost an arm, was suffering blow after blow. With the help of an unknown, active energy surging in its chest, the Orthodox Godzilla had shaken off its post-sleep lethargy, and its physical agility had seen a qualitative improvement!

Whistling claw strikes lashed repeatedly against the opponent's face. It seemed that even its claws and teeth had changed under the influence of that unknown energy. The talons, which previously could only strike sparks against the obsidian-like skin of the opponent, were now able to sink deep into its flesh!

When the Tokyo Godzilla charged up its radioactive heat ray, its throat skin glowing translucent under the pale purple light, the Orthodox Godzilla lunged forward and bit down on its throat! Like a hunting lion, it shook and tore, its unnaturally sharp teeth ripping a massive chunk of flesh from the opponent's throat!

The incompletely charged radioactive heat ray fired from the wound in its throat, carving a long path of molten lava across the ground. But on the Orthodox Godzilla, not even a scorch mark remained!
